In this book each double-page spread evokes things the author treasures for their antiquity. He praises ""old towns, where streets whisper the secrets of the years, their buildings leaning against one another like family dogs asleep."" Accompanying this is a color reproduction of a painting in which an aged town slumbers in the moonlight. Some of the old things honored in this book are houses, gardens, trees, books, customs, shops and holidays.
